| 655447 | 2008-04-03 02:23:00 | i find other cultures very interesting, i love watch programs that also show how others may live, but in saying that i do find some Asians annoying, i have asian friends, who are very nice, but the main thing that really really irritates me is being on a ****ty bus (which is bad enough) and having 3 or 4 chinese people screaming when they talk in manderin Is it really necessary to yell at someone beside you? lol. I lived in malaysia when i was young (We moved to malaysia for my dads job at the time, i am a white kiwi, not that its really relevant lol.) and when we lived there i never heard people yelling at each other in native toungs, but yet, here i hear it all the time. Strange i suppose the mysteries of moving to new zealand, must be an odor in the air that makes you deaf :B |

| 655448 | 2008-04-03 02:26:00 | Ninja: 3 . I don't get the last sentence - the meaning may be lost in translation . Do you mean that some foods are heating and others are cooling? If so, yes, there is an equivalent in earlier European thinking (like 19th Century and earlier), but I am not sure it meant the same thing as it does in contemporary Chinese thinking . I don't think it is part of current Pakeha thinking about food . I think that is too much of one nutrient and you get an effect . Like they say hot in their language . That can come via like too much red meats or too much fried foods and you can get things like sore throats . . . Cold like they call can rebalance the scale . These may include watercress, some type of tea, fruits etc . . . Dunno what the english equiv . is thou . |

Strange i suppose the mysteries of moving to new zealand, must be an odor in the air that makes you deaf :B Been told that Japanese and Korean drama shows are more soapy and emotional :D. I think western shows are artificial .. like home and away, neighbours, shortland st and the american like grey anatomy and I dunno, I don't watch those .. haha, one tree ... For the yells. I dunno my aunt does that in HKG :p and then I fire back .. Many asian shows do that too .... The young western people do it too but where I live yeah sometimes, am I speaking a bit too loud or too excited ... haha and my neighbours are pretty quiet too ... I do cantonese, cannot do mandarin .. but I understand you, all those high pitch voices ... Its funny, what I was overseas people and not just in Asia and in NZ, people would come up to me and speak japanese, korean, thai, if I am overseas on holiday they think I live there. Then some think other tourists, I use backpackers cos I am able to meet up with others and you establish contacts, some would think from my accent am I Australian or even American or some in NZ will say am I a mixed cos my accent isn't just one type its like a mixture :D On the bus its interesting, cos, from my learnings and travels I can pick out what language they speak and if they speak some kind I understand more I just look out the window and understand what they talking about ... :p From my travels, I have seen some people who has a classic Malaysian look, but they were Japanese - the more I travel the more I see that stereotypes cross the line. |

After she learned of my marriage breakup she offered me to marry her sister. She would provide an all expenses paid trip to China to meet the girl, and if I liked her would pay me twenty thousand bucks to marry her and bring her to NZ! :lol: | Greg (193) | ||

I personally like japanese dramas but not mainland chinese,taiwanese or korean drama I find that japanese dramas are more emotionally and in the story is more in depth.It has a better story than most english dramas.You should watch a few japanese dramas.I almost cry watching one .hhaha..I was watching a HK drama a few days ago and the female actress die.so sad.... |

| 655454 | 2008-04-03 06:33:00 | Ah, pretend cancer for the entertainment of others. Classy. Reminds me of Shortland street and their habit of killing off babies for ratings. |
